Happy Halloween!

This was done a couple of months ago, but I never got around to releasing it. What better moment than now?
There is also a Late Night Show version, which aims to replicate the rebroadcast feel. You can find it here.
The other episodes aren't planned, this is just a one-off.

The BDMVs for this show are complete and utter ass. It's a pretty bad upscale featuring ringing, banding, halos... You name it, this BD probably has it. For this BD I wrote a specific function that checks how easily a frame can be descaled. If a descaled frame is accurate enough, it will actually get descaled. If not, it's kept it as-is. Descaled clips were then re-upscaled using waifu2x (no denoising), and everything was downscaled to 720p again afterwards. This fixes up most of the ringing, aliasing, and haloing. The rest is a fairly standard filterchain consisting of denoising, debanding, and re-graining.

As for the subtitles, it was mostly done as a self-improvement thing a while ago. Don't expect the best, but don't expect bottom-tier subtitles either.
